Course Drop/Add Activity

Course Drop/Add Activity

For students assessed on a per course basis, the net effect of dropping and adding courses may change the overall fee assessment for the term. In general, adding a course will increase the fee assessment by the unit course fee to a maximum tuition charge equal to the basic term fee. Dropping a course may generate a refund, calculated on the same basis as a withdrawal at either 100%, 50%, or zero, depending on when the course is dropped and the resulting final course load. Contact Student Financial Services for clarification of the financial impact before dropping a course. 

Refunds for credit balances created by dropping courses are issued early in the third month of term.

Students who change their course load within the first three weeks of the start of lectures each term may see a change in incidental fees.
